Home Learning
At Princess May, we believe home learning consolidates and reinforces skills and understanding in numeracy, literacy and other curriculum areas, and provides opportunities for parents/carers and children to work together.
Princess May has decided to change the way homework is given out in order for parents to have a better overview and to save on needless paper. We have introduced a new online platform for homework called ‘Learn with Emile’. Your child has received their personal login details. Please support your child with completing their homework by following the guidance below.
- Your child’s class teacher will set a homework task (Maths and Grammar) on Emile every Friday.
- The homework will be due the following Friday.
- If your child requires some support with their homework, we offer a lunchtime homework club every Thursday and Friday.
There will also be spellings, Times Tables Rockstars and daily reading each week. Your class teacher will check that your child has completed their homework every Friday.
